This week my blog might be seen as contentious, I hope not, It’s not meant to be, I just want to be honest and focus my energy on opportunities for learning or to shine a light in an area that may have been misunderstood or misrepresented. For the last couple of years, I hav…
Lets have a cuppa and a chat. Last week I made a big decision to post that I am going through a difficult time. I was spurred on by a conversation that had shown up that morning at networking about the masks we wear and, how we as humans find it so difficult to share our vuln…
What I want to talk about today is the deep stuff. Being shiny and uplifting and positive and purposeful is wonderful, and yet the truth is that we all have demons, or a big ‘issue’ buried deep within. This is true for me and I know its true for many of you too. A…

Were focussed on goals a lot in business and life arent we ? We know that if we have a plan or a goal, then we have something to aim for. All the books, speakers and successful entrepreneurs tell us that right? If this is true then why do so many of us who have goals, stray f…
I have been listening to Lawrence Levy and the incredible story of Pixar. What struck me was the journey that business went on and how precarious its position was before it hit success. When you strip back the volume of dollars and scale of projects, there are wonderful lesso…

Like most of the world, I am on social media. I find it fascinating and sometimes I have a love/hate relationship with it. As we evolve with this strange beast in our lives, I have been wondering about the etiquette and how this is changing. When I started my first business, …
